Chereads / Dungeon Master : Tale of a Monster / Chapter 38 - chapter 38

Chapter 38 - chapter 38

Argholas is sitting gracefully in his room.

in front of him is a display screen that show the remaining challenger that have entered his dungeon and survive.

it has been two weeks since the challengers enter his dungeon but the survivor still manage to live until now. even though some of them turn insane in the first week.

Argholas would love to watch the challengers keep trying their best but he know he don't have as much time as he wish. the Gathering is coming close and he need to prepare his creature in the Lair as soon as possible. this challengers just have to come at such time.

Argholas finally decide to smoth things over with the challengers. by using Dungeon Shift feature, Argholas re arrange some of the twist and turn that he once made to go directly into his tower.

not that it is easy, Argholas have made his dungeon so confusing that he believes he himself will never find his way out even if he tries. of course it was just Argholas being over dramatic, but he likes to think that he is not perfect.

another week have passed and Argholas manage to make his dungeon more easier to travel. the path is much more clear and the fake turn is less than before. Argholas even add some road that lead to higher ground level, to help challengers map the their journey more easier.

all in all, Argholas makes his dungeon more "challengers friendly".

but his effort looks like it just a waste of energy. out of 6 survivor, 3 have been killed in the last week.

current challengers list :

no 1

no 2 dead

no 3

no 4 dead

no 5 dead

no 6 dead

no 7 dead

no 8 dead

no 9

no 10 dead

since there is only a few of then left, Argholas decide to name them himself.

no 1 is Sharp Dick

no 3 is Dino Fake

no 9 is Big Head

now with only a week left before Gathering and three challengers left that must be dealt with, Argholas have to decide wether he wait for them or make a quick work on them one by one.

no 3, in Earth Dungeon

her name is Jada Bliss.

she was an orphan from a poor foster house.

when she was ten years old, her foster house is forced to shut down and she was unfortunate to be left behind when everyone leaving to their temporary place.

alone with no adults to lead her way, she wander alone until she arrive in a city. hungry and have no way to get food, Jada can only wander around alone until she passed out.

when she wake up, Jada is still alone. she begin to walk again but since she don't know how to get food, she soon pass out again in hunger and thirst.

when Jada wake up again, she can only cried in pain and fear. she don't know how to get food and she feel so weak she can barely standing.

lucky for her, her cry attract the attention of a female with ragged clothes. the woman look at Jada and took pity on her. she bring Jada to her cover and feed Jada the bit of food left with her.

the woman in ragged clothes is actually a thief and beggar. her daily life consists of running around for her life to get a bit of food or sit on a dirty corners to beg for some little money people willing to spare. with the little she can get, she spare a bit for Jada just enough for her to survive.

with a bit of food to keep her alive but no supervision from adult, little Jada turn from cute little girl into a heartless female vixen. Jada have quite a good look on her face, and she do not afraid to use it to her advantage.

Jada will kill to get more wealth, be it food or money. she will easily tell lies, blackmailing others, even use someone else to drain them their money. as long as she got something, whatever happen to others is of no concern for her.

then a chance come when a group called Dungeon Breaker looking for extra personel to rush a dungeon. Jada volunteers to become a carrier, someone who carry found item from dungeon.

Jada know that those who venture into the dungeon will have a chance to gain superpower. sadly the Dungeon Breaker didn't allow carrier to enter the dungeon. they just left her with some other carrier outside the gate and will sometimes go back to drop their load.

Jada got good pay and she is safe, but deep down she want more. she want power, because without it she will one day go back into that crying orphan who passed out in some dark place.

then she made a plan, seducing one of the group member and made blackmail him into taking her to the dungeon.

inside the dungeon even when against the other team safety procedures, Jada left the group silently and wander alone in the dungeon. she didn't fear death, as she see death on daily basis. she didn't fear hunger and loneliness, as she come from there. she is afraid of being always weak. always unable to control her own life.

what happen next is a flash of blurry story.

she survive, but barely and in a condition where her body almost dried out.

then Jada break out the hospital. in literal term. killing doctors and patients alike.

then she wander alone, hunting some of people that once hurt her or she just doesn't like.

until one day Mad Sin found her in the wilderness. barely sane and bloodthirsty.

he manage to capture her, with a hefty price.

Jada then trained and tortured to the edge of her insanity. her mental is broken, her body is weak, but her power grow stronger.

then finally she is awake in a container car, being sent to a dungeon.

Mad Sin voice is heard from a recording, telling her to kill the dungeon boss.

with some special word, the recording trigger a memory of her torture and Jada is made to do the order.

and now, almost a month in a dungeon. her anger and hatred for the living is growing stronger.

she resent those who made her like this. she despise them with all her heart.

and there is one thing that will grant her relieve, which also the reason for her survival. to kill the General that made her into a puppet, and to kill him in the most painful way.
